Abstract:The difficulty of producing functionally graded materials (FGM) and the fact that they are more expensive than homogeneous materials emerge as an industrial problem. The starting point of this study is to investigate alternative solution methods that will contribute to the mentioned problem. In parallel, the analysis of the contact problem for a layer, which is loaded by a rigid block and resting on the elastic half plane, is presented in this paper. Only the area under the block is considered as FGM, the othe… Show more
